Preparing for oncology specialty certification is one of the best ways to become an expert OncoPT.

However, most physical therapists get derailed before they even register for their exam.  So they stop preparing.

And this means patients don’t get your expert-level care.  So they don’t get better.

We think this is just plain wrong.  

Listen now for our 3 tips for more effective preparation so you don’t lose your mind in the process.

CAR T-Cell Therapy has exploded onto the cancer treatment scene.

Dr. Adam Matichak breaks down CAR T-Cell Therapy into easy-to-understand, easy-to-implement nuggets in today’s episode.  

If you’re looking for an easy button on CAR T-Cell Therapy, this episode is a must-listen!

It's been 10 years since the Prospective Surveillance Model (PSM) was first published.  This model saves our patients money, can prevent functional decline, & has changed our entire paradigm of how we treat people with cancer.

So why is it still so rare to see it implemented?

Buckle up, OncoPT, because there’s a lot to cover today.  But it’s soooooo needed.

In this episode, Dr. Nicole Stout dives into why Prospective Surveillance Model hasn’t taken off yet, plus what we MUST do about today.

Can you truly prepare for your first patient dying?  Today’s guest says no.

Death & dying is absolutely a part of OncoPT, but it doesn’t get talked about nearly enough.

We may have a natural tendency to avoid these topics, but this actually hurts our patients.  So how do we start talking about death & dying?

By having these conversations ourselves.

When we talk about death & dying, we can open the door for our patients to have these conversations.  Today I’m talking about death & dying with the person I literally go to when I need to have these conversations: my sister.

Back by popular demand, Corissa Decker, RN, BSN is an oncology nurse, BMT extraordinaire, & advocate for having the hard conversations to truly improve patient care.  We talked about our first patient deaths, the injustice of not talking about death & dying, & how to start making a change in our practices.
